Pulls Right

I notice while im driving either a short period of time or a long period of time it always pulls right, any reasons? It isn't the road either, because it does it on paved roads.

get an alignment....and actually paved roads might make you think you car is pulling....most all paved roads are crowned...slope down from center to help drain the rain/water...

I don't know it it's true or not. But I've heard that when they align a car they always make it so it will pull to the right a little bit like if you have your hands of the wheel. I heard it's so that if you fall asleep or something you drive into the ditch and not oncoming traffic.

ive never heard that

and ive never had a car pull to the right after an alignment either

and i dont see a lot of roads with a ditch on the right any more.. i see houses, buildings, people walking.. no ditch. that makes no sense whatsoever.

There's ditches on the highway but there not big at all, there ridiclously small and don't do anything espically if your a heavy sleepier. Well this sucks dam alignment

Rumble strips.... FTW.

I would hate to be driving along turning the wheel in one direction only to have the car go in the other.... unless you know what to look for and how to fix it getting an alignment done can prevent this sort of event.

Is your right side tire losing air? I only paid $50 for my alignment so shop around, and plan to have extra $, in case there are underlying issues, like ball joints, tierod ends, etc.

I went kayaking last night and it kept pulling to the left. Turns out my life jacket that I had secured to the front of the kayak was dragging in the water. Maybe you have a similar problem?

Yeah the tire lost air, I think if i was to drive again, i would of gotten a flat.
